7:01 pm
all needed this is true all of the country new york's mayor criticizes the trumpet ministration of the city records 758 new fatalities whatever of people dying in spain rises for the 1st time in 3 days more than 600 patients died in the last 24 miles. after spending so not trying to have a child for months and be able to be together with was devastating people around the world are struggling with being separated from their loved ones and with the pandemic. but other of people have died in the u.k. as a result of co that 19 is now past 10 thousands that that's as prime minister boris johnson has left the london hospital where he was being treated he spent 3 nights in intensive care downing street says he's not going straight back to work in a video posted online the prime minister said it could have gone either way and he
7:02 pm
thanked and h.s. staff for saving his life in the last 7 days i have of course seen the pressure that the n.h.s. is under. i've seen the personal courage not just of the doctors the nurses but of everyone the cleaners the cooks the health care workers of every description physios radiograph was pharmacists who kept coming to work kept putting themselves in harm's way kept risking this deadly virus it is thanks to that courage that devotion that duty and that love that our n.h.s. has been unbeatable in the last hour new york state authorities have reported another 758 coronavirus related deaths there have been more than 20000 deaths across the u.s. the highest toll of any country new york's mayor bill de blasio has criticized the
7:03 pm
trumpet ministration for failing to conduct enough testing in the state to correspondents for us mike hanna standing by in washington d.c. with the latest in the u.s. but 1st let's join. in london as we saw the marion prime minister boris johnson out of hospital he's not yet fit enough to return to work that. yes that's right i think there is definitely consensus that he needs to take some time out to recover properly from this infection like of course the 1st 10 days of that in his illness when he continued to discharge his duties but yes this is very welcome plus it's of news comes as no surprise the message from downing street has definitely been more upbeat in recent days about the prime minister's condition we know that he was discharged from intensive care on thursday evening by friday he lows watching movies was also in touch with his fiance carrie simons who was showing him scans of
7:04 pm
that baby who is juice people in the sama she has cell has also just been recovering from the coronavirus but yet there will be a real collective sigh of relief that the prime minister is not actually come through this because that was a real shock when this news broke last week and people really watching to see if he would need to go on a ventilator because of course that. some people don't survive that procedure and in some cases it can cause permanent organ damage so the fact that he's managed to leave intensive care that he's been discharged from hospital is a very good news but as you say went back to work just yet he is going to be recovering in checkers which is the prime minister's country residence but of course there are many of those who are very sick from this virus thousands of others in the country but perhaps it will be easier for the government to focus on the challenges ahead without worrying about the prime minister's condition as well as the number of covert 19 related deaths in the u.k.
7:05 pm
passes the $10000.00 mark the health secretary but hancock a said that the country's health service is not being overwhelmed by the pandemic. well the n.h.s. and hospital workers are under a great deal of pressure right now that hancock was pressed on that milestone 10000 and according to the governments that the figures that they're working towards the government was saying a few weeks ago that they were expecting perhaps 20000 to die from this virus said this would suggest that we're halfway through that it's very difficult to predict something like that right now there are concerns that the u.k. could be the worst affected country in europe that it could suffer the largest number of deaths today marks a somber day in the impact of this disease as we join the list of countries who have seen more than 10000 deaths related to coronavirus. the fact that over
7:06 pm
10000 people have now lost their lives to this invisible killer demonstrates just how serious coronavirus is and why the national effort that everyone is engaged in is so important while the so listening to the house secretary that he is saying that this underscores the importance of special assistance and that people bear a responsibility not just for their own health but also the health of all the people and the ability of this virus to spread but as the death toll continues to climb there will also be questions i asked about whether the lockdown changed too late and about whether the government was simply too slow to prepare but it's academic now the other figures that we had in that briefing that the number of hospitalizations is showing signs of maybe stabilizing here in london though it's a bit more law tylenol the parts of country in the northeast in the northwest and also in yorkshire but sadly that death toll will probably continue to rise in the
7:07 pm
coming weeks because many of the people who are sick now probably and in an intensive care right now probably became sick some weeks ago. i was there as mary massey reporting live from home in london many thanks indeed marion as we reported a moment ago new york has reported another 758 deaths linked to the virus that as new york city mayor bill de blasio announced plans for new community testing sites but he says it's contingent on supplies from the federal government. we pleaded for weeks and weeks for the federal government provide testing up front in the kind of quantity that could have helped us contain this crisis and change the whole course of that we never got that help we continue to plead for more testing still has not come any anywhere near the numbers that we need but we will not stop will continuing the conversations with the white house with fema demanding the testing we are the epicenter of this crisis we must have the testing to help us move
7:08 pm
towards that next phase where we get out of widespread transmission across a virus and move to a low level transmission on to something better the governor of new york state has been giving his daily coronavirus press briefing within the last hour earlier though he came out and spoke about excuse me about how difficult has been for his state. it's been disorienting everybody is suffering on a lot of levels people are afraid people are anxious their own distress everywhere they turn normally you go home for solace you go home for peace. but it's even difficult i home in this period with so many questions so a lot a lot of pain a lot of suffering. but also when things are at their worst sometimes people are at their best. analysis now from us here is mike hanna who is live for
7:09 pm
us in washington d.c. so 758 new coronavirus deaths in the last 24 hours. mike the governor says that he wants to open up new york again as far as the economy is concerned but he has to be smart about it. yes indeed in the background you can hear the bells from washington churches on this easter sunday a joyous occasion for many christians around the world but a sad sound on this day where many are sheltering in their homes alone yes we heard there from the governor of new york state andrew cuomo earlier when he was speaking in a in upstate new york town a small town he spoke there because the hospital in that town had donated ventilators to another hospital downstate and the governor talking about this as an example of how those in new york are helping each other in this time of crisis we also heard from governor cuomo about the figures within new york state now as we
7:10 pm
stated repeatedly new york state the epicenter of the virus and the governor there making very clear that it is now a very certain that the idea of an apex is not entirely correct what is happening and what is being seen in new york state is a plateau the number of hospital admissions the number of injured patients all of these have been leveling out in recent days as very sadly has that number of deaths each day ranging between $700.00 to $800.00 but this is the plateau he believes it's something that new york state has got to continue to go through one skin no light at the end of the tunnel as he sees it but at the same time he's saying that the figures are now getting clearer despite the lack of testing that was a complaint we heard once again from the mayor of new york that they are simply not enough tests to go around that the federal government has not come through on its
7:11 pm
promise to provide tests to everybody who needs it. mike stay with us a moment i want to ask you about this tweeted video message from u.s. president donald trump during which he urged americans to stay at home to defeat what he's described as a playing take a watch this easter will be much different than others because in many cases will be separated physically only from our churches we won't be sitting there next to each other which we'd like to be and soon will be again but right now we're keeping separation we're getting rid of the plague it's a plague on our country like nobody's ever seen. a change in tone from the president mike. well one must remember that only 2 weeks ago president trump was predicting that the nation would be open by this easter sunday april the 12th he backtracked away from that extending the closure
7:12 pm
within the country as a whole but president trying to repeatedly been insisting that the economy has got to open as soon as possible that he really wants to see a full or partial lifting of the closure throughout the united states this has been urged by many of his corporate advisers by some economists some business leaders however health officials continuing to stress that the lifting of the restrictions prematurely could result in a spike in the death rate in a spike in the number of infections remembering to of course that the u.s. now having the most deaths in the world per day president trump has insisted that the u.s. is dealing with this for example it has conducted more tests than any other country in the world well this is more than $2000000.00 tests but that is a meaningless figure and listed relates to how many are being tested per capita and as i say again hearing from the mayor of new york that there are simply not enough
7:13 pm
tests available now why are mentioning this again is because most experts point out that any lifting of these restrictions has to be based on data that data has to be obtained from a coherent and widespread testing pattern and it's only when that data is received and analyzed that any talk can begin about when or if the a restrictions are going to be lifted under serious mike hanna reporting live from washington mike many thanks. spain has reported a rise in deaths linked to corona virus for the 1st time in 3 days 619 people died over the past 24 hours after contracting the disease covert 19 the military emergency unit has used drones to warn people to remain at home spain has one of the highest infection rates in the world despite the continued high death toll the
7:14 pm
government has lifted some restrictions or bought essential workers not a hero as the details from madrid. this is not a 2nd phase at all we still in during a lockdown this is directed a little bit the economy because we have to remember that 2 weeks ago we had unemployment figures in spain 100000 jobs were lost in just 2 weeks meat meat martin till the end of march this is the worst economic scenario ever since the spanish civil war so there's many criticism saying that we shouldn't believe those tough measures so soon we have to wait a little bit so there's a lot of controversy he says for the santa perhaps and that means that says that we're following. all guidelines world health organization guidelines we're doing the correct thing so spain needs a little bit of movement in the economy so he also mentioned about the guy that you have to follow people that are going to back to work tomorrow or the people that cannot work remotely from home meaning they have to go to the talking about sectors
7:15 pm
that construction and manufacturing both of the sectors that were also damaged because of the. lockdown from an iris. could i just endemic in spain so he gave the guidelines that the companies have to provide employees we've p.b.s. program protective equipment and they have to keep a distance of at least 2 meters between each worker also everyone that cannot go by themselves to work with their own bake will buy sickles or on transport all means. they will have to take the public transport and they will be distributing facemask in the train stations and in the subway stations. we're going to whether up to next year old 0 that paying tribute to the dead or the some of the victims of the coronavirus of that. time british motor racing legend stirling moss has died at the age of 90 will tell people.
7:16 pm

7:17 pm
heavy rains as we go through monday and tuesday into the thailand cambodia and also crawls into coastal areas of vietnam in india it's still really about the hate it's a fairly quiet picture monday and tuesday in terms of rain showers we could just see one and 2 cropping up on the coast as a coward also across into should lanka but really elsewhere typical for this time of year temperatures in the low forty's the non-poor $41.00 monday on the same on shoes day. but. in the age of the coronavirus information is more important than ever wonder when east investigates the battle for truth in china and beyond on al-jazeera. save humanity i really really not getting anywhere.
7:18 pm
this is al jazeera let's remind you of the main news this hour u.k. prime minister boris johnson has been discharged from hospital downing street says that he won't go straight back to work but it's unclear how long his recovery period will be. the last new york state authorities of course are the father 758 coronavirus related deaths new york's mayor has criticized trump ministration for a lack of testing kits as he tries to expand testing in his city a spade as reported
7:19 pm
a rise in deaths linked to the corona virus for the 1st time in 3 days $619.00 people with died over the past 24 hours pushing the total past 16300 that are more than 166000 confirmed cases that. libya is waging 2 battles the civil war which has split the country of the fight against the coronavirus but some communities are complaining about the lack of help from the internationally recognized government to limit the spread of the disease they're having to rely on donations volunteers or any other help they can get is a libya correspondent a lot of the wide. this is what lockdown looks like in tripoli the government has put a curfew in place restaurants and cafes are closed down education suspended sushil gatherings banned and movement between cities restricted but the number of 19 is creeping up or authorities say they're doing what they can to prevent further
7:20 pm
infections but some municipalities are critical of the government's measures to prevent a bigger break. we've not received any support from the government as of today a budget has been dispersed by the central bank but some municipalities receive double their portions others receive nothing at all communities are trying to fill the gaps where they say the government has failed this hospital in the city of misrata has been donated by a local businessman to treat coronavirus patients and students in the city are using 3 d. printers to produce safety gear for medical workers in tripoli these younger volunteers are relying on donations to conduct. campaign. that of cleaning go home for elderly as well as markets banks and hospitals.
7:21 pm
we do it out of our humanitarian values we've also launched campaigns to raise people's awareness especially in slums in areas where there are foreign wages. the isolation of this house for elderly people which has a natural ventilation makes it less exposed to infection and the vulnerability of the people living here makes them a priority in the senate patient campaign run by the volunteers but schools that have been turned into makeshift camps for those displaced by the war create a bigger risk of infection the government is actually butin the lack of financial support to the oil blockade by forces loyal to the warlords flee for have to do so in communities across the west of libya volunteers are doing what they can to protect themselves and others from the virus. tripoli

7:28 pm
a long illness enjoyed success across 3 decades of racing in many disciplines but will go down as perhaps the best driver never to actually win before we don't want title. looks back on a remarkable career. known as mr motor racing stirling moss was at the top of the sports in arguably its deadliest era a heyday when there was plenty of speed hundreds of thousands of fans but little in the way of safety born in 1029 into a racing family most his father alfred competed in the indianapolis 500 while his mother was english women's champion in 1936 and a great moment in a career that spanned 14 years stirling moss won 16 formula one grand prix in the 1950 s. and sixty's but he never claimed the world title finishing 2nd and 3rd on several occasions. but he didn't just excel in formula one most posters have
7:29 pm
a record $212.00 wins across $107.00 different types of cars in total but they strive i misstated arguably his greatest achievement was victory in the 1955 mill media a grueling 1000 mile road race through italy where he finally beat his greatest rival 5 time formula one champion one man while fun gio by nearly half an hour. but most his career ended early at the age of $31.00 after a horrific crash in april 1902 left him in a coma for a month. quite honestly i have too much pride if you like to want to go in racing and find myself training ground at the back i just don't recommend that thing to do i mean if you if you find your punch drunk i reckon you get out of it he later admitted he'd retired too early but was a regular in the paddock influencing the younger generation of drivers who would themself. go on to win world championships but the lack of a world title never bothered most. and in the exclusive position
7:30 pm
of people saying well he should have won he never did soon as gives me an exclusive a different being just 11 time world champion when there are other guys out there with 7 like michael but the most important thing to me really is due respect to my other drivers one last lived his life in the fast lane his wife said he died peacefully at home in his sleep in london. it's good to have you with us hello adrian forgetting here in doha the headlines on al-jazeera u.k. prime minister boris johnson has been discharged from hospital downing street says though that he won't go straight back to work it's unclear how long his recovery period will be. in the last 7 days i have of course seen the pressure that the n.h.s. is under i've seen the personal courage not just of the doctors the nurses
